In need of info and advice for a 2002 G20

[apalermino]

Hello, all! I am new to the site and I am in the process of buying a 2002 G20 touring. It is in great condition and I would like to make some upgrades. Please advise of any tuner shops in SoCal that specialize in Nissan/Infiniti products. 1. To start off I am looking for an intake kit and exhaust kit. Preferably a full intake kit (filter, tubes, hoses, clamps, etc) and a stainless mandrel bent cat back exhaust. 2. I found some Tein springs, but I'm not sure how they compare to Eibach, any thoughts? They are a bit cheaper, but I don't want to sacrifice quality.3. Should I bother with shock/strut upgrades? 4. Is there a strut tower brace available?5. Any thoughts on the SLR Motorsports chip? Worth the $? How much HP increase? Other chips available for the application?6. Any other bang for the buck upgrade suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

1) There are plenty of these on the Market for the G20. Shop around.

2) in my experience the Eibach and Tein are very close. Some people swear by the Eibach over the Tein.

3) Shock Strut upgrades cant hurt but wont do to much for you unless you plan on Autox

4) http://www.tein.com/carbing/strut-tower-bar.htmlGoogle is your friend.

5) once again google is your friend.http://www.f150online.com/foru....html

There are no performance chips for Nissans really.

6) For a N/A car best bang for the buck is header.

-- VMPhil -- Thank you so much for your help!Especially on the SLR chip deal... you saved me a major headache with that.As for the air intake kits, I probably need to keep looking, but I only found a full kit for the 2.5L Sentra engine from K&N... for the 1.8L they only offered the square filter... I also found some generic Injen cone filters, but no kits...Thanks again for your help,

not a problem at all. Finding mods for for the G20 will be a bit more difficult than a Sentra. you may have to do a custom fit or settle for a K&N after market filter. you can also search for Mods from the 2000-2001 Sentra 2.0 SE.

My recommendation for making the car more fun to drive:

After Market Springs (8mm to 1.2" lower)Rear Sway barShort shift kitHeader and Exhaust comboA set of light weight Rays or Racing hart wheels A set of good grippy summer tires (for Spring-summer driving)

Happy modding!
